Schools around the state will be trying to implement plans to return students to school campuses after Gov. Roy Cooper and state legislators agreed to get students back in schools for face-to-face instructions.
Mount Airy City Schools just might be the model they want to consider following. That’s because the local city school system has been holding in-person classes five days a week for the entire school year.
“Our students have been five days a week since Aug. 17,” said Carrie Venable, executive officer of communications for the city schools. “We are the only school system in the state that has had students five days a week since August.”
Raleigh, N.C. Legislation giving North Carolina families the choice to attend in-person summer learning programs in public schools cleared multiple state House committees on Tuesday with support from local superintendents who spoke in favor of the bill.
House Bill 82 Summer Learning Choice for NC Families would provide six weeks of classroom instruction, five days a week, for families who choose to participate this summer. The programs are targeted to students falling behind during remote learning but are available to all North Carolina families.
The bill is designed to encourage student participation by offering core academic courses mixed with enrichment and physical activities. It provides time flexibility to local school districts by prescribing hours requirements instead of days, allowing districts to tailor the program to their specific needs.
